Is anybody else tiring of Lebron's Antics?

    He didn't dance around in front of his bench and on the court when his opponents were down by a big margin. He still showed respect for his opponents when they were down. His opponents had a lot of respect for him in return. And yes, he hosted some get togethers with his opponents before or after games.

    Intention was good, execution not so much. A little too drawn out or it woulda been within acceptibility. Noah doesnt back down from anyone, gotta like that. Its all just part of the game.

    This is during the conference finals, to the crowd but close in front the other team's bench, with Rasheed "Wallflower" Wallace on the team who I dont remember speaking up.

    When Cavs are getting raped by a team, like we did tonight.

    i guarantee Lebron Shut the F up, and sits his ass quietly on the bench

    Good point. Everyone loves Deke's finger wag. I don't interpret it as a sign of disrespecting the opponent.

    And Lebron wasn't pointing and laughing at the Bull's bench when he was dancing. At that point it just looked like they had their own personal dance contest at an inappropriate time. Like I said, I'd prefer if they toned it down a little since it's still in the middle of the game. But at the same time there wasn't any showboating or insults.

    The only reason anyone cares is because there's a camera focused on Lebron while he's doing it. With all those Kiss Cams you see at arenas, players are always messing around but there's no one watching it. I'd much rather Lebron dance on his own bench than outwardly yell at opponents ala KG. The guy is just having fun, it's not like he's tying his shoes while holding the basketball in the middle of a play. . .

    I love the dancing, the team is having fun. You win, you get a reward, you can dance, you lose, you don't dance. Simple and not disrespectful. If the Rockets were doing it you would all love it and defend it. So stop hating.

    Well their arrogance is what will stop them from winning anything. They take teams too lightly and will get burned in the playoffs. Time to grow up boys.

    I don't think their arrogance is what keeps them from winning in the playoffs. The lack of talent around LeBron is just more exposed in the playoffs.

    They only do it when they are winning so they get to win and have fun. Not sure what point you are trying to make here.

    I made a comment about that their arrogance wont win them any championships, and you replied atleast they are having fun. That is my point, I would rather have a winner, then a team full of clowns

    Spot on. Public persona has a way of skewing reality.

    You guys really have to find a way to bash any star player don't you? He's dancing who gives a flying ****. He's not even taunting the bench he's just dancing by himself, although it is at a rather inappropriate time. How can you expect every player to be serious face every single minute of every single day they're on a camera? Guys gotta loosen up man.

    Dancing like that will get you jumped in Houston. You know how it goes down at the club. People can't stand someone else having a good time. Haters gonna hate!

    yea lebron is just a clwon, this is a professional league, he should take his antics to the And 1 league, but he thinks and its true, he can't be touched, the league gives him all this cushion and its annoying

    to alot of people who say he couldn't play in a different era, bc of his mentality adn even his skill level bc his game is based on athleticism and hand checking would just throw him off as hes used to getting babied for calls.... but kevin mcale talks about how his tactics would be treated in the old style nba

    i wish noah did this to him, that would be hilarious lebron on the ground screaming hey man im the king, this a lebron james' team, and crying and talking about himself in 3rd person, someone needs to teach this guy something

    Exactly, apparently Being the best = Being a douchebag

    Man remember when Tim Duncan can to the league and people criticized him for not showing enough emotion.

    YOU CAN'T WIN no matter what you do or dont do!!
